That the sarkar had to cut rates of GST shows that it had massively bungled in rolling out GST . It was literally looting the people . Kaunse acche din ??!! Baah!!

Jaitley and co probably thought that some adjustments may definitely be needed and it may be better to set a high rate and lower it than set a low rate and increase it.

Pro business doesn’t always translate to pro businessmen. Ease of doing business has improved (though it is still not too great), but a lot of transactions used to happen off the books on a tax avoidance route. That I understand is being targeted with all GST, demo, etc.

BTW, Nehru and Indira’s socialist policies benefited by businessmen like Broas, Baja and later on Ambani.

Update- meant Birlas and Bajaj. Autocheck ki

Reason: Damn autocorrect

If there are maintenance charges on Jan Dhan accounts, it would be an issue. In fact undoing whatever Jan Dhan was meant for. But what account do you have docji. I maintain a good balance in one private bank account, but still get charged maintenance charges. Both during UPA and NDa.

In the week leading up to Ms Trump's arrival, Hyderabad city administration has transformed the roads her motorcade will be passing through.
They have repaired potholes, cleaned up pavements, and coated road dividers and curbsides with fresh paint. Zebra crossings that were fading are now nearly glowing. In some parts, tree trunks have been painted green, pink or blue.

I also heard all the beggars were rounded up and sent off to some rural area.

anyway, this has been the pattern forever.. when PM or President is passing through, the roads are cleaned up, etc .. same with our homes, if we know a guest is coming, we do some extra cleaning.

Two big events happened very recently and went unnoticed behind the sound of Renuka episode which was quite futile.

1. Saudi Arabia opened its airspace for Air India to travel to Israel.
2. Palestein has expressed its faith that Modi is the only person who can resolve the dispute between Palestein and Israel.
3. A small note: Modi will inaugurate Hindu temple in Muslim country in his 3 days visit.

What a credibility Modi has achieved in entire world including staunch Muslim nations.
While Pak was trying to build a strong force of Muslim nations against India for past 50+ years, Modi has successfully built a force of Muslim nations against Pak.
Today Afghanistan,Bangladesh,Iran and now Saudi,Oman,uae are with India.
For 70 years congress did not dare to Invite Israeli president in India with fear of taking wrath of Muslim nations.
And today Israel as well as palestein are looking for best relation with India,so as america and Russia, so a afgan,Bangladesh,srilanka,Maldives.
I will give 200 out of 100 marks to this Modi govt for taking our beloved country to another high.
A change can be made in situation with strong will power,determination and clean character.
Celebrate this baby step in India becoming a global power in next few years.
